Take on the tax avoiders - says Vince Cable
The Liberal Democrats' Shadow Chancellor has written an article for the Guardian newspaper calling for action against tax avoiders. He wrote, " The British government isn't bankrupt. But it can ill afford to lose tax revenue through large-scale avoidance. There is a substantial structural budget deficit caused by the loss of income from a now depressed and disgraced City over and above the growing deficit born of recession. An important starting point in this crisis is to establish a tax base that is robust and fair, in which everyone is seen to be paying their share.
